With the correct (standard?) equipment fitted in the tower, the cross wind is displayed on the same screen as the current "instant" wind, the 2 minute wind, the 10 minute wind, and maximum gust within a similar time period but I forget whether its 2 or 10 minutes.
Whilst this may be fitted at some fields it is certainly not the case at all, many I know just have direction and speed, not sure How common this kit is, but certainly not (standard)!
